The more we learn about the school shooting in Nashville, TN, the worse things look.The shooter has now been identified as a 28-year-old transgender man (i.e. actually a woman) who goes by “he/him” pronouns. Further, law enforcement has revealed she wrote a manifesto that they have recovered.More details are coming out, and this sure looks like it was a far-left terrorist attack. The transgender shooter shot up a Christian school just a few weeks after Tennessee passed a bill banning child mutilation under the guise of “gender-affirming care.” To further make the case, Luke Rosiak is now reporting that left-wing...

One of the authors of a Senate bill that would enable the US commerce department to ban technologies with links to foreign governments has said the Biden White House is “very in favor” of the measure, but stopped short of saying whether the administration has discussed possibly prohibiting the Chinese-owned platform TikTok in particular.

When Joe Biden ordered the chaotic, deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021, he didn’t just leave behind our dignity, he also left behind billions in weapons and armaments. Although we’ve known that most of that equipment ended up in Taliban hands, new photos and videos are emerging showing just how much we essentially donated to the violent group.The Taliban has reportedly been busy repairing many of the vehicles we had intentionally sabotaged when we abandoned ship:BREAKING: The Taliban has released pictures of US equipment & parts left behind after the August 2021 US withdrawal.

The next 10 years could bring the slowest rate of growth for the global economy in decades as financial instability and high inflation weigh on productivity, according to the World Bank. The usual forces that drive economic trends are now retreating, which in turn impacts government policies, spending, and interest rates. A worsening bank crisis may also exacerbate growth constraints, the group said. "The result could be a lost decade in the making—not just for some countries or regions as has occurred in the past—but for the whole world," the officials said.

China has been unabashed about making its intentions known. Already in 1999, two colonels in China's People's Liberation Army, Qiao Liang and Wang Xiansui, wrote, "Unrestricted Warfare: China's Master Plan to Destroy America." In it, the authors "suggest the significance of alternatives to direct military confrontation, including international policy, economic warfare, attacks on digital infrastructure and networks, and terrorism. Even a relatively insignificant state can incapacitate a far more powerful enemy by applying pressure to their economic and political systems." Ideally, "one might not even know that one is the target." There seem to be so many policy decisions now...

Chinese Bishop Han says following the state rules is important for the Church's mission and growth A Chinese bishop, recognized by both state and the Vatican, says all Catholic clergy in China should register with the government to end the division among them as state-sanctioned and underground churches. “What hurts and torments us the most are the situations of disunity and heartbreak between brothers,” said Bishop Joseph Han Zhi-hai of Lanzhou in the province of Gansu in north-central China. Han made the remarks in a letter he sent to the Vatican Fides agency, on the 20th anniversary of his ordination...

Good Friday, one of the most solemn days of the Christian liturgical year, commemorates the day Jesus Christ was arrested, mocked, beaten, condemned, and crucified for our sins. It’s a day of quiet reflection on how we have personally contributed to His passion and death through our own sinfulness. Now, a group of degenerates in St. Louis chooses Good Friday to mock, humiliate, blaspheme, and crucify Him all over again.

MSNBC anchor Joy Reid said Monday on her show “The ReidOut” that it was ironic the Republican-led Tennessee government is in “moral panic” over drag shows but not gun laws after six people were killed in a mass shooting at Covenant School in Nashville. Reid said, “The congressman that represents this district, his name is Andy Ogles. He’s a Republican. He represents this district. I want to show a picture. You tweeted out a picture. I guess it was his Christmas card. There it is, there he is, standing in front of the Christmas tree with his wife and children....

New Ways Ministry has offered sharp criticism of the US bishops’ new Doctrinal Note on the Moral Limits to Technological Manipulation of the Human Body. The 14-page document, published by the bishops’ Committee on Doctrine, states that “Catholic health care services must not perform interventions, whether surgical or chemical, that aim to transform the sexual characteristics of a human body into those of the opposite sex or take part in the development of such procedures.” “In neglecting the experiences of trans people and in not attending to contemporary science, it harms people instead of healing them,” said Francis DeBernardo, executive...

from Religion Media Centre: MPs have called for the Islamic Centre of England to be shut down after its links to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps were exposed by journalists at The Times. The Foreign Affairs select committee chair Alicia Kearns told the Commons that the IRGC has “cut-outs” operating in the UK and the House wants the IRGC proscribed for “silencing critics of Ayatollah, inciting hate, celebrating terrorists, and recruiting for a terrorist state”. In reply, the Home Office minister for security, Tom Tugenhadt, said the government was taking action against the IRGC and he promised to meet British-Iranian...

And here we go … The media keeps deadnaming and misgendering Covenant School shooter Audrey Hale, even after the police chief confirmed he identifies as transgender and left a manifesto that lends credence to the theory that this had something to do with Hale’s trans identity. Even ABC’s Terry Moran is doing it. Moran also noted, as an aside to the killing spree, that Tennessee has recently passed a law banning “medical care” for transgender minors. IT BEGINS: ABC's Terry Moran ties the Nashville school shooting to Tennessee's recently-passed legislation banning the hormonization and mutilation of minors. The shooter was...

'If you have any such material on display in your library, could you please remove it from the public area.'MELBOURNE, Australia (LifeSiteNews) — A Catholic university in Australia has taken a stand against the LGBT agenda, ordering staff to remove the gay “pride” flags hanging in the campus library. In an email sent to staff at the school’s Melbourne campus in February, Australian Catholic University (ACU) asked that the pride flags on display in the library be removed, reminding staff that their presence was not aligned with the institution’s Catholic identity. “It is not considered to be appropriate at ACU,”...
